“FROM SOUTH IS DEAD
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Apr. 12 (P)—
‘William Giles, Lilliard, 77, who at the
jast Confederate reuniom was the
yvoungest living soldier of the south,
wag found dead of heart disease at his
home here.
Mr. Lilliard’s civil way life, as a
' boy soldier for the“south, teems with
tragedy that had for a climax one of
the happiest celebrations ever in Ru
therford county. When 14 years old
be could no longer resist the call to
htans for his native land and in 1863
ehlisted.
He wag assigned to calvary duty in
Colonel Hubbard's brigade. Skirmish
irg in the Carolinas the boy calvary
man received a wound from a bullet
which entered hig chest. Soon after
this the war ended.
~Soldiers began to stream home, fam
ilies were reunited and the afterwar
drama of the southland started. But
at the home of Colonel William G.
Lilliard, wealthy landowner and in
fluential citizen of Rutherford coun
ty, the tragedy of the war was empha
' sized because the little boy who went
away to enter the b.ig fight did not
come trooping in. Days, weeks,
months passed. Finally the family
reconciled that he had given his life
to the cause and no longer looked for
hip. _ :
Then one day just six months after
the fighting ended the youthful sol
digr came walking quietly in. He had,
all that time, been in a hospital in the
Carolinas, part of the time lingering
on the edge of death., When the shock
of his return was over a celebration
and great rejoicing occurred, people
from all the countryside entering in
to it,

Good Work Made Easy
The John Deere “DF” is the cul
tivator that makes good work easy.
It is used all over the country by
farmers who demand the best.
You can cultivate all row crops
with the “DF”, for the simply-ad
justed arch permits a variation of
16 inches in the wheel tread.
The hugging device aids in hold
ing the rigs to the row when hilling
or “laying by” the crop, counteract
ing the tendency to drift either to or
from the row. This does away with
the hardest work of cultivating.
Simple depth control insures even
cultivation—just a turn of the tail
bolt does it.
$
We would like to show you the DF the next time you are in town.

around it or to take satisfaction out
of hollering to the fellow that he
